After a brief delay (of approximately 50 weeks), I have recently resumed work on a webpage that will show the main differences between Caliber 11, Caliber 11-I and Caliber 12. As time permits (hopefully within the next 50 weeks), I may expand this webpage, to cover the Caliber 11-GMT, Caliber 14 and Caliber 15 movements. In other words, we will finally have a webpage that helps our readers figure out the differences and authenticity of all these movements.
I working on this page, it would be great to assemble a collection of our very best photos of the movements themselves. A couple of preferences, please:
- Shown below is an awesome photo of an early Caliber 11 movement. This style of photo is ideal -- complete movement, removed from the watch, shot "head-on", with nice even lighting.
- Photos of movements in the watches will be fine, but it will probably work out better if the movement was been removed from the watch.
- Strangely enough, I have never owned a Caliber 15 chronograph, so any Cal 15 photos would be greatly appreciated.
- Who among our readers might have photos of a Caliber 12 movement, with the nickel / silver plates?
- For all these photos, the higher the resolution, the better it will be.
- There is a good chance that this webpage will become a magazine article, so something like minimum width of 2,500 pixels is ideal size.
I am excited to be working on this webpage, and hope that some of our readers will be able to contribute awesome photos of their Cal 11 / 11-I / 12 / 14 / 15 movements. You can either post your photos here, send me links to where they are hosted or send them to me by e-mail message.
Sorry that I have been so quiet on this Forum lately . . . it's always calmest before the storm, and I am optimistic this webpage will be one great storm!!
